Blissful Blessings Events

I met Briana during an Event in DC. She was very bubbly and energetic. Upon meeting, she immediately told me about an event she was organizing. She even followed up with me via email and invited me to her event. I always use event planners for my events so I thought I should check it out. I bought a ticket to attend the event she was organizing. I prepaid $70 to attend this event (this was in Jan). When I showed up to the event, there was no one at the venue. I called Briana and she said that event has been cancelled but she tried to reach out to me (even though we have been corresponding via email/cell & I didn't receive an email, voicemail or even a text on either). I was extremely angry at first but Briana was apologetic and she said that she will reschedule for February. In February, on the day of the event I reached out to Briana first before driving out to the venue. And of course, she said that the event was cancelled again and she was "just" about to call me. She offered to refund everyone's money. It is now May. I have emailed Briana on the email we have been corresponding & via her website about the refund. I have called her on her cell phone, as well as work line and left messages. It is not about $70 at this point. I am horrified that this is a company that brides use. How an EVENT PLANNER can create "fake" events to charge & con people is beside me. I checked out her other reviews on Weddingwire and found out that she has done shady transactions before. There were complaints that she wrote bad checks & did not pay vendors. It is scary to think that she can ruin someone's special day by not paying vendors. I know Briana will not respond to any of the emails/phone calls I had made over the past 3 months, but I hope Briana reads this review and realizes that on the very least people will vocalize their "con" experiences with her.
